Oof. A lot of questions marks going into this season. Still need a OF and maybe a corner IF, IMO. Hoping for .500 baseball if they don’t address those areas.
I hate that I love the Reds.
These projections do tend to have issues with younger teams. The 2024 as an example had SS projected for 2024 at 2.9 (EDLC and McLain) and 2B at 3.2 with McLain/India. The less historical data it has for a player the farther off it usually ends up.
The reds need to add and this off-season is leaving me anything but optimistic so far. Being realistic, the stage is set for another 80 win season. Such is life as a Reds fan
even this feels optimistic.
only adding a backup catcher is a recipe for disappointment
We need at least 2 if not 3 major league level hitters added. Give me two passable guys and a big hitter like Alonso, things could go fantastic
I hate that we are (seemingly) wasting a year of our window being open. Seems like we have a 5 year window of McLain and EDLC and it’s so frustrating to go into the year with a “hopefully we can reach .500” mindset
